If we get a Nemesis Prime repaint of Siege Prime, that'd be awesome. Though, I also wish that we could get a Shattered Glass repaint out of Siege Prime with the battle damage replaced with energon splashes because of a Digibash that I had seen on Twitter. Or even a Toxitron repaint. Annnnnnd it's at this moment that I realize that Hasbro has way too many character's that are just repainted Optimus Primes

The other HasCon excusive was probably just the Dino-cassettes reissue, what with it being an oddball in the Vintage G1 line by being the only item of the line that isn't being sold through Walmart.

The real question is would they have still come with Frenzy or would they have come with a Deluxe figure like another Bumblebee repaint if they were Hascon exclusives? I also have to wonder what the price would have turned out like. The three tapes are fairly reasonably priced at $35 and are almost comparable to the Walmart 2-packs for $20 and a far cry from 2-tapes and a Deluxe for $60.

On a side note, I really like the way the cartoon shading turned out on 35th Optimus and Megatron and if the Walmart reissues featured those paint jobs I would have bought them on sight!

Also...

My Amazon exclusives finally found their way home. No idea where they were, but somebody dropped them off on my front porch early Wednesday morning, long before my normal mail delivery. They're finally right where they belong. I also got a email from the local Postmaster promising to investigate what happened, I replied letting them know someone dropped it off. I also had a few stern, but not hostile, things to say about constant delivery mixups on a road that only has 13 houses on it with house numbers spread between 19 and 57, our numbers aren't that similar!

But that's not all, my Slamdance appears to be in good shape with not obvious cracks or stress marks. I moved all of his leg joints around several times and transformed him to vehicle modes and back once and aside from being a little stiff at first everything seems fine. There is some obvious loose plastic at the end of some of the pins so the holes might be either slightly too small causing stress or warped in the molding process. I only found this on the left leg, the one that is most often breaking, and not at all on the right leg.

Kind of an indication of what a disaster of an idea Hascon was to begin with. Instead of having a line-specific convention with exclusives, panels, and events focused on that line, they provided a watered down, overpriced show with no focus at all.

Just in from DaimChoc reports on Facebook are images of the box art for Transformers War for Cybertron Seige Mirage, Impactor, Barricade, and Thundercracker. Some of these images have already been seen so far, some are new, but all of them are posted with their blacklight codes. Now you can hop onto Hasbro.com and unlock new material. We've listed the codes above each image but here's the breakdown:Barricade: BadcopMirage: TurbofoxImpactor: WreckersThundercracker: Seekers

Be sure to share what you find in the forums and stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news.

Also in from DaimChoc Reports on Facebook this morning is the newly posted chapter in the stop-motion Transformers War for Cybertron Siege series, this time picking up where the last battle left off with Cog having fallen to pieces and Optimus Prime squaring off against Megatron one on one. Maybe not quite a fair fight as Megatron is wielding the Air Strike Patrol in their combined Spyblade form. Enjoy the view and post your thoughts in the forum. As always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news.

This may not seem so odd in other places but at a local Target they had 5 of the Micromaster 10 pak sitting on the shelf. While for some this may not seem odd, it does in my AO. Also, just could be that stores are just receiving stock of this set. Definitely gives those a better chance of picking them up.

Skyfire is awesome, but I'm a little disappointed that the burst effects are made of soft plastic/rubber.. especially since one of the long flame effects is a little crooked. Anyone know how to fix it? (From experience.)

Also, this is my first and only SIEGE effect pack, are they all made of this material?

For anyone looking to get the regular release of Mirage and Impactor, Amazon's pre-order says they will be released September 1st.

I'm hoping this is like Thundercracker where Amazon had the earliest release. I've got Mirage on pre-order already and am passing on Impactor for the one in the fan vote set. However, if they are in fact getting those 2 on September 1st, I would presume they may also have Barricade since he is in the same wave.

(This line rules BTW.)

Yep, all the effects use the same rubbery material.

Always beware of what you try but a hairdryer or warm water would probably be enough to soften it to where you could hold it straight and let it cool. They’re all like that but fortunately all the ones I have are straight they did a pretty good job with them I think. Best QC in ages.

We've probably seen all the new molds there will be for "Siege" through December. All of these repaints are just bonuses for anyone who wants them. Any new molds revealed going forward are almost certainly going to be part of the second act of the "War for Cybertron Trilogy."

I don't even see what the problem is. There aren't many of what I would call "inappropriate" remolds in this line. The closest thing to it would probably be Hot Shot and Nightbird, and those are both welcome to me.

Agreed. I have three futuristic Lamborghinis and I’m totally happy with it.
